Product Application

This product is use flocclant for  dissolved air flotation, and sludge dewatering of inorganic sludges.

This RXSOL specified product is used to flocculate suspended oil particles in oilfield waters either by adding it directly to alkaline systems, or in the case of lower pH systems, by first neutralizing the product with alkali to produce a water soluble salt solution.
To prepare the water soluble salt solution, add the alkali (NaOH, KOH) slowly to a 2% dilution of the RXSOL DAF  until the pH reaches alkaline 8.0 - 10.0. The product will change from a thin, milky-white liquid to a clear, viscous liquid. The neutralized 2% solution can then be further diluted as required. RXSOL DAF can also be formulated with ethylene glycol. RXSOL DAF functions by reducing the repulsive surface charges on oil droplets and certain organic and inorganic particulates found in produced oilfield waters. This helps promote the formation of a larger floc and improves settling or filtration rates. Due to the wide variability of oilfield waters, the optimum dosage rate should be determined through a series of jar tests for each specific application. RXSOL DAF is often used in conjunction with inorganic coagulants or cationic polyelectrolytes.
